For those of you who know Ana, she's been posting some over on her blog that she calls artesanato antropológico. She's been volunteering at a daycare in Sobradinho, the town where she's living, and has some pretty funny stories about the day care as well as some photos. See:

adventures in babysitting for a story about one of the impish little girls and Tricotando present for more about the place as well as some of her photos of the kids.

She's also been having laptop woes and ran all over Salvador ( a city of 3 million people) looking for canned air to clean the dust out of her laptop. Instead she only found a product called Mastersux (more here) which is some kind of cannister vaccum that they sell - but of course there were none in stock.

I've also posted some of the pics from our trip here: http://www.rakaposhi.net/photos and will put up some more over the next weeks. And actually write about the trip - imagine that.
